Lavannya is a Digital Engineering Coordinator with ACCIONA Australia, where she leads Digital Initiatives beyond the scope of delivery in construction. Her specialisation in Spatial-Survey supports not only the construction team in their efforts to design, execute and deliver, but further identify opportunities to leverage Digital Information for number of stakeholders including safety, environment and sustainability.

As a Digital Engineering coordinator on the M80 Ring Road Completion Project, Lavannya has delivered a number of safety initiatives where focus is places on effective utilisation of digital tools out on the project site. Through this initiative, her work was able to embrace digital technology in safety practices  from design to advancing safety outcomes at all stages of construction. She further continues to support the project by under delivering on digital delivery requirements of infrastructure projects, whilst managing associated risks and cross function coordination activities.

Lavannya is driven in identifying opportunities to use digital technologies to bridge the gap between design and exection. Taking a "from cloud to ground" approach, she is able to contribute to achieving a fundamental shift in the way we construct and deliver infrastructure projects which affect the livelihood of the hers but also communities.

Statement: Driving change and promoting equality in the construction industry is essential to creating safer, more inclusive, and innovative work environments. By embracing diverse perspectives and ensuring equal opportunities, the industry can better address labor shortages, improve collaboration, and deliver more effective solutions. Change also helps modernize outdated practices, paving the way for sustainable growth and long-term success.
